Admissions

Joining Daisy Chains

Whether you are still asking about a place or you already have one, everything you need is on this page.

Availability

Where we currently have space

We would rather tell you a class is full than take an enquiry we cannot honour.

1½ – 2½ years

Playgroup

Enquire for availabilityFirst steps away from home, in a small room where everything is within reach and nothing needs asking for.

2½ – 4 years

Junior Montessori

Enquire for availabilityThe full prepared environment opens up: practical life, sensorial materials, early language and number.

4 – 6 years

Primary Montessori

Enquire for availabilityReading, writing and mathematics arrive through materials rather than worksheets, at whatever moment each child is ready.
Joining mid-year is normal here. A good number of our families arrive in Krabi partway through the year, so starting in February is no stranger to us than starting in September. Half-days and drop-in sessions are available on request for families here for a shorter stay.

The process

From first message to first morning

  1. Tell us about your child

    A short form — their name, date of birth, where you are now and when you would like to start. Two minutes.

  2. Speak with us

    A WhatsApp conversation or a phone call. This is a conversation, not a sales sequence.

  3. Visit, in person or by video

    Come during a working morning if you can. If you are still abroad we will walk you round the classroom on a video call.

  4. Confirm a place

    We confirm in writing that we have space in the right age group for the term you want.

  5. Complete enrolment

    One form on this site — your child’s details, allergies, emergency contact and photo consent. It goes straight onto their record, so nobody asks you for it twice.

  6. Pay and start

    Card or Thai QR online, bank transfer, or in person at the school. Then we agree a settling-in plan and a first day.

What we need

Documents for enrolment

  • A completed enrolment form
  • A copy of your child’s passport or Thai ID
  • A copy of your child’s birth certificate
  • Passport copies for parents or guardians
  • Immunisation record
  • Two passport photographs
  • Emergency contacts and any medical or dietary information

If a document is difficult to get hold of from abroad, tell us — there is usually a way round it.

After you enquire

What happens next

We read every enquiry ourselves and reply usually within one working day. If you have not heard from us in two working days, something has gone wrong with email — please message us on WhatsApp instead.

There is no waiting list fee and no deposit taken before a place is confirmed in writing.

Questions

Before you ask

What ages do you take?

Children from 1½ to 6 years, in three mixed-age classrooms. Get in touch if your child sits near a boundary — placement follows readiness as much as birthday.

Is the school English-speaking?

Yes. English is the language of the classroom and Thai is taught alongside it. Our families are a mix of Thai and international, and children pick up both faster than their parents expect.

Can we visit before deciding?

Please do. Visiting during a working morning tells you more than any brochure. If you are still abroad we will do the same tour over a video call.

Do you take children mid-term?

Yes, subject to space in the right age group. A good number of our families arrive in Krabi partway through the year, so this is normal rather than exceptional.

What does it cost?

Fees are published in full on the fees page — ฿18,000 or ฿24,000 per three-month term depending on age, with no registration fee. Half-days and drop-in sessions are available on request.

What is included in the fees?

Meals, all Montessori materials and the extra-curricular programme. Swimming lessons and off-site trips are charged separately.

Ready when you are

If you have been offered a place, this is the whole of the rest of it.
